Sharon Weber, Portrait Photography Course
The expertise of our instructors remains decisive for successful photography courses, but for portrait photography the available facilities are also of great importance. It is essential that all students are given sufficient opportunity for practice. With a space of 400 m², four independent studios where students can practice continuously, all common studio equipment and facilities for daylight portrait, Octopus Academy offers a complete experience and optimal learning environment.
SMALL GROUP
We have deliberately limited the group size to ensure that each participant receives optimal attention and support.
3-HOUR LONG PRACTICAL SESSION
During this extra long practical session, you can further deepen your knowledge and skills under the guidance of an experienced course instructor.
OPTIMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Octopus has four studios, a daylight studio, all standard studio equipment, a classroom and its own parking space.
This portrait photography course starts with an excellently developed theoretical, instructional part of approximately 2 hours. During this presentation, which is rich in examples and practical demonstrations, you will gain the necessary insights and knowledge about light, posing and technique. The shared knowledge forms the basis for the practical part that follows. After lunch, you will photograph intensively for 3 hours under the guidance of an experienced course instructor.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN DURING THIS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE:
LIGHT, LIGHTING SETUP & STUDIO TECHNIQUE
A portrait photographer’s work largely involves light manipulation, whether you’re shooting in studio or daylight. That’s why we pay a lot of attention to this subject during our portrait photography course.
STUDIO LIGHT & DAYLIGHT
During our portrait photography course, you’ll have the opportunity to shoot in both studio and daylight. Very useful if you’re still trying to figure out what your preference is.
POSING & COMPOSITION
One of the essential aspects of portrait photography is posing. If you find posing challenging, you’re not alone. We’ve all been through that phase, but step by step you’ll get there. The most important composition tools for a portrait photographer are explained clearly one by one, with plenty of examples and demonstrations.
LENS & CAMERA SETTINGS
The right choice of lens plays a major role in portrait photography. We will explain the logic behind this decision. Finally, we will also look at the common camera settings.
Knowledge of camera settings is welcome for this photography course, but not necessary.
Don’t have a camera? You can borrow one from us free of charge during the course.
